We have emails saved on the file system. These emails have custom

them. There is no custom form, just custom properties. They are not
meant to be seen by the user. An external program looks at these
values. These properties
were originally added using objPost.UserProperties.Add. We need it
so that when someone opens up one of these emails into Outlook through
the file
system, and then replies or fowards the message, these custom
properties are still values in the reply email. This is so the
external program can
track these emails.

How do we maintain the custom properties like that? We could have
these emails opened up using an Outlook command line that includes a
path to a macro, if that is needed. But then in the macro I would need
to know both the values of the original email, and be able to capture
a send event. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Our Company uses Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002.


No response to this yet? As a quick summary to what I am asking, when
someone opens up an email from the file system, we need certain
custom property values that is defined in the email to be maintained
when it is forwarded or replied to.

I am guessing that it cannot be done.I have thought about the
following options, none which will work.
For it to work an event that fires on a forward or reply is needed,
which outlook does not seem to have. I could handle the 'send' email
event
